I think once you hit 4 children you are a big family. My mother told me that she was being greedy when she had me (I am the 3rd) because the world is so over populated and anything over 2 was too many for her. Until I came along of course.

This is so open to interpretation. I think it depends what you're used to. My dad was one of 5 and so was my mom and their siblings had kids too. Christmas is a crazy mess of a holiday where there's a kid's table (us) and now our kids' table. There's like, 3 tables of family at one dinner - to me, that's a big family. Of course, we're not as blessed as the Duggars! Yikes!
